Study the following graph and answer the question below.
Total investment(in ₹ thousands) of Vivek and Shalini in six savings schemes.
Percentage of Vivek's investment out of total investment
What is the ratio of the total amount invested by Vivek in schemes A and C together to the total amount invested by Shalini in schemes A and C together?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total investment in A = 80000
Total investment in C = 30000
Investment of vivek in A = \(\frac{50 }{100 }\) × 80000 = 40000
Investment of vivek in C = \(\frac{40 }{100 }\) × 30000 = 12000
Now , Investment of shalini in A = 80000 - 40000 = 40000
Investment of shalini in C = 30000 - 12000 = 18000
Ratio of investment of vivek in A & C : Ratio of investment of shalini in A & C
( 40000 + 12000 ) : ( 40000 + 18000 )
520000 : 58000
26 : 29
